Hello craft beer friends.
I made reference to this in my 2019 "new to me" beers post but I wanted to create a separate post about this. When I started Ontario Craft Brew in 2018 it was at the encouragement of a friend, as a way to share my experiences. What I came to find was that I fell into a pattern of trying to almost write a little history on each brewery I visited. While there are some great history stories and I'm proud to have captured some of it with my post on Collective Arts and Great Lakes Brewery; I had a harder time finding information on the history of Nickelbrook. I found, in the end, that there's so many new breweries under 5 years old that just don't have that long history. Doesn't make them any worse. It's just a fact. So there was quickly a little less meat on the bones in terms of a history post. That aside, this was always supposed to be a way of sharing my experiences. I strayed from that. When you take that into account and you add in a very crazy turn of events at my job that has been keeping me very busy, I suddenly went quiet on this site. So, 2020 is here now. Work is still busy but you know what? I still like sharing beer. So my goal for 2020 is to do so. Maybe I didn't find a beer at a brewery. Maybe it was a random find at a LCBO. Does that mean I can't share it here? No. I don't know why I felt I needed to keep my posts to just sharing breweries. I will continue to do so of course (and man, do I have a back log to tell you guys about!) but I'm going to try and come at this as more of "conversation between friends" than some kind of beer tourist guide. As always, the Instagram will be full of pictures of beers I find/buy. Starting today, I also won't be limiting that account to brewery purchases either. I'm not really a "resolutions" kind of person so let's just say this is my "re-dedication to the website". Cheers!
